Two Leading Republican Senators Praise Obama On Immigration

John McCain and Lindsey Graham met with the president and share his commitment to comprehensive immigration reform.

The praise from Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina comes even though some other Republicans say Obama just wants to pursue immigration as a political issue to get Latino support and isn’t truly committed to a bill.

Speaking to reporters after meeting with the president Tuesday at the White House, McCain and Graham said they believe Obama understands the need for strong border-security measures.
